VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Electrical - 6 volt What is this?

Hi, Was advised to try this forum since these are electrical and 6 volt. Can anyone tell me what these fit? Thank You, Doc

Your lamps look like the park lights from sealed beam replacement headlamps. The horns could be a genuine accessory or an aftermarket enhancement to factory horns. Look for a brand name like Delco Remy, Autolite, Spartan.

Thanks for the reply Mike, After a closer look they say Spartan, Do you have any idea what they fit?? Took the round caps off end and they look brand new inside. They work. Heres a better look at the tag on the heater, Thanks Doc

That is a 33 heater.

Thank you Antique Mechanic for the info. I will list it in the for sale forum as heater for 1933 car or truck. Thanks again, Doc

Doc,
I don't know Spartan horns were OEM equipment for anyone. They might be aftermarket items.
Heaters similar to yours were used through 1935. There are at least 2 designs of the cutout in the top. I'll check my '35 Accessory Catalog and look at the photos.
Ray knows his stuff. Could be '33 only.

I'll have to look thru my files but the horns look very similar to a set I sold a number of years ago. The picture was of a truck with those type horns and bracket. Out of town til Sun but will look when I get back.

Thank you all for the replys, I knew someone at this site would know something . Meanwhile , my wife will help me search internet too, I,m not good at this computer stuff. Thanks again Doc

Doc,
I finally checked my 1935 Accessory Catalog. The cutout design for the '35 heater is different.

Mike

Mike,
Would you know what year this heater is for? This is a water heater. The one that originally came with the car was a gas heater. It had a metal tube that ran from a plate under the carburetor to it and there would be a flame inside the heater and the fan would blow the warm air. I don't really need a gas fed flame inside the car for heat. LOL! BTW I have a 35 Standard Coach. I am going to use this one in my car. I also have another identical one and the old gas one on my shelf.
Thanks,
Pete V

My 48 has a gas heater, made by Southwind. It wasn't hooked up and I never did hook it up. It doesn't get that cold here in Napa. But if I drive in the winter, there is so much heat coming through the firewall that I keep warm. Seems like I take it out in the summer on the hottest days we have.
